thanks guys - this information is the same as the Dealer...

I am not sure if the bolts are torque to yeild - stretching bolts like a head bolt / stud...I will look into this...I would re loc tite...

I may just brush paint them on...this is the two part caliper kit paint set...it is not a spray - I wish it were but I do not want to bleed the brakes with the ABS module...otherwise I would pull the calipers and spray...

I think I can get it to look good by hand...5 years or Art/Design school better pay off...

thanks for the compliment on the car...which one the w123 or w203???
I love them both!
